BRIDESTOWE'S STONE ROLL OF HONOUR 1914 - 1918

 

Bridestowe's  Roll of Honour stone

Bridestowe's stone Roll of Honour

The hard-to-read names on the bottom line are those of

George Woollacott and Maitland Worden

The names of all men from the parish who served their country in World War 1 are inscribed on a large stone which was set into the wall of the Chapel at the junction of Station Road and Fore Street. The path levels at the foot of the stone have changed since the original installation so the bottom two names - those of George Wollacott and Hartland Worden -  are not easy to read.

The names of the seven men who died are followed by the letters RIP.
